What Ceramides does

Lipids that make up about half of your skin barrier. Topping them up reduces water loss, stinging and flakiness, which makes ceramides the best friend of anyone using retinoids or acids.

What Hyaluronic Acid does

A humectant that holds many times its weight in water, plumping skin and smoothing dehydration lines. It pairs well with almost everything and cushions harsher actives.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid together?

Yes, and they work even better together. Both are gentle, barrier-friendly ingredients. Layering them gives you extra hydration and comfort with no conflict at all.

Which goes first, Ceramides or Hyaluronic Acid?

Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Ceramides. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.

Should I use Ceramides in the morning or at night?

Ceramides: works morning or night. Use as your moisturiser step, morning and night. On nights with actives, you can buffer by applying a ceramide cream first.

Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?

Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
